Don't order it online, whatever you do. You'll get ripped off.
Local farm supply store will usually have it in stock, if you've got a farmer's union or something of that nature in the area.


Edit- From a quick google search, Robbins Garden Center might be your best bet.

 

My brother owns a landscaping business and I just asked him to grab me some. They don't seem to sell at it local hardware stores though, Tractor Supply if they have any in your area might.

 

They'll usually just have the 'deer feed' clover, which is usually a blend of taller-growing stuff.

I was looking at buying online, but the garden supply stores like Gurney's are crazy expensive, and the cheap stuff that I found on Amazon all had terrible reviews. Everything from seed that didn't grow to seed that grew like crazy but wasn't actually clover, false weights, etc.
So I stopped by the local farmer's union and they were selling it for something like $6/lb.

 

thats good to know

 

Thanks, they were on my mental list of places to check, and they're less than a mile from home, so easy trip too. I'll just swing in the next time I'm headed in that direction.

 

Maybe an Agway store?

 

Anyone have suggestions for a locking mechanism for my spare tire on the swing out? I had to cut mine off last weekend since the lock mechanism corroded even after I had pre-sprayed triflo in there twice this winter.

I'm having the same issue with the masterlock padlocks I have for my gas tanks and roof top accessories. I am getting sick of these weatherproof junk with false promises.

 

I don't think mine is "weatherproof" but sits tucked inside the slot on my rigid box. Not sure how much elements it actually sees

 

Stuff some axle grease in the mechanisms?

 

I've been using BoltLock products for a lot of my camping gear and my hitch pin. It eats a lot of shit in the hitch pin area and seems to be holding up well. Only reason I'm bringing it up is it uses your ignition key so it might be handy for stuff on your truck.

 

Today my wallet hurts

 

Nice !! I’d think your face would be hurting also with all the smiling
Congrats. Details on the new machine.

 

Since some people were discussing motorcycles before, went out for another group ride today, to enjoy the nice weather! If anyone wants to join us, just let me know! (We usually go out on Sundays when the weathers is nice, and ride around the eastern part of CT.)

 

Well... chipping away at the "break-in" miles.. added almost 200 to the dizzer...

Honestly, havent had this much fun on. Motorcycle in a long time...
Chicken strips are all but gone already... trying to some tighter corners tomorrow.....
.

 

Good morning everyone. Anyone have any good plans? I plan on working on my truck organization box again today. Maybe start cleaning up my frame as well

 

Eh... need to ship some stuff out....
Try to snag a coleman roadtripper if I can find one...
Hit Costco and stock up....
Hopefully, home, and on my time by noonish..
But first, time to drag the teenagers out of bed....
Been working on courses since about 530...

 

Stuck at work 5 hours then oil change and tire rotation on wife's wip.
Maybe some other chores if I'm not to lazy.

 

Finally on vacation after a LONG two weeks.

So much to do, so little time. Yard stuff, painting truck stuff, car stuff. It will be a good week off. I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but I've got a second small human coming in September, so I'm down a yardwork helper for this season, so I'm working slow this year.

 

Congrats on the small human!!

 

I'd be down but I usually play softball on Sundays
